I'm hoping that cross realm battlegrounds may solve at least one of the BG queue problems - the tendency of losing teams to stop queuing. Whole brackets disappear for extended times because of this. It's no fun when 10 horde play 5 alliance, so those alliance stop queueing, there are fewer games, and the ones that do pop have another 5 alliance, who stop queueing...

Hopefully that cycle will break. Maybe the 50-59 AB and WSG bracket might spring to life again.

From what I've been reading, it also sounds like "Join as Group" might be capped to 2-4 players in a group. In that case, every group is a PUG of some sort, so that will possibly make games more even in the sense that you won't see as many PUG v Guild games.

If nothing else, I think that while queues may not be better across the board, it is more likely that people will play more given that they aren't guaranteed to run up against the same gulid group over and over again or be grouped with the same idiots on their own team (I know I've left queues or tried to skip a round because of that reason).
